Air plants seem both prehistoric and magical to me. They gather their nutrients, not from soil, but from moisture and particles in the air (dust, decaying leaves and insect debris). Since they love bright, filtered light, I've been looking for the perfect hanging "pot" (mostly to keep them out of reach of my naughty cats who like to steal and hide things).

Made of terracotta, but unlike any other terracotta planter you've seen before.2Porcelain Sea Life Vase Ornament, $18 from Air Plant Supply Co: Realistic looking shells made of porcelain, they come in 5 different shapes and can hang or sit on a table or counter.3Hanging Globe with Tillandsias Kit, $28-$37 from Flora Grubb: This simple, minimalist globe can become eye-catching and complex with the addition of three tillandsia varieties. 4Air Plant Wall Tile, $40 from Pigeon Toe Ceramics: Solo or as a group, these modular tiles are a wonderful home for nesting a collection of air plants.5The Circle Pot, $89 from Potted: Not exclusively a pot for air plants, this post adds a bit of mod whimsy indoors or out.
